Dan Mullen and various Mississippi State players traveled to Haughton, La., to attend Dak Prescott's mother's funeral Wednesday. Peggy Prescott died Sunday morning from colon cancer. Dak Prescott, MSU's starting quarterback, flew back to Haughton on Sunday and has remained there since.

Those who didn't attend the services stayed in Starkville to prepare for Mississippi State's game against No. 11 Texas A&M on Saturday.
